Victor wrench

Thanks, Kevan!
 

 Another name new to me.  This wrench isn’t old, it’s manufactured by Victor Tools in Punjab, India, a global hand tool manufacturer established in 1954. The family-owned enterprise is still operating, designing and drop-forging a wide variety of wrenches and pliers for various markets. Company website here.

 

Drouin supercharger


  Want to supercharge your Norton twin?  Here's an interesting project and period piece for someone.  Drouin Mfg. of Massachusetts made this kit in the early seventies for the Commando and later Harley and Honda 750. Reputed to give 90 hp, I suspect the engine internals suffered. Here's a website devoted to the kit. 








 Drouin wasn't the only source for supercharging, Alf Hagon's setup below.
